Default Poll: To sticker or not to sticker (Carrera side badge)

A week or so ago a post was made showing the below. Have always liked the Carrera script on the sides of P cars since way back. Got me thinking about doing the same to my 996 Cab. So, thought a poll might be in order...

The Seal Grey Metallic is mine, the yellow cab has the Carrera script like I am considering. Note that I have added AeroKit II side skirts and a TechArt rear spoiler since the picture below was taken. Will post pics of it later today.

Hi....great idea...but without having a body kit or side skirts...I just don't think it will look right. It will look, well.....just wrong.

See my original post, installed Aerokit II (like the ones in the pic below) yesterday along with a TechArt rear spoiler and an '03 GT2 front spoiler lip. Will post pics later after I get her washed...

I think it looks fantastic on the yellow with black rims... may not be crazy about it on the Seal Grey... but who cares what I think.

I personally wouldn't do it as i think it belongs on the air cooled 9's. This is what makes America beautiful, do your thing!

If by pumpkins you mean the hideous orange side markers, already gone! Just finishing washing her, will post pics shortly... Only other thing I am waiting on is newly painted front bumper (OEM). Decided to go with OEM front bumper due to

A. Cost of aftermarket or OEM that are urethane
B. Non urethane ones (i.e. fiberglass or similar) are a crap shoot on fitment
C. See A and B

How, may I ask, are you posting to this thread while "finishing washing your car". Is it creeping through the conveyor belt at Dannys Family while you type away......

ROFL... Had actually already finished washing it. Just had some detailing to do...

Here are the pics!






You can see the front spoiler/lip pretty well in the above.

Fantastic....cars looks amazing. Gorgeous. However, I'm not too sure how the script will look. I know someone will photoshop it on your car so you will have a good idea of how it will appear....right Tim? LOL.

I agree that it does look great with brighter colors and black wheels...hence the 997 gt3-rs and the like.

Sit back while some of the others have fun with your pictures.

I say don't do it. Even though I have a Yellow car I am not going to do it either...too much advertising IMHO and un-necessary unless it came from the factory that way.

Ok, here is a "quick and dirty" example. Not real good, but you get the idea.
